Lille, the capital of foodies and the curious
If Lille is thriving so much, it’s because it brings together everything you love: a super dynamic culinary scene (697 restaurants for every 100,000 inhabitants, you’ll never run out of options), a vibrant cultural life (273 different activities listed), and above all, huge buzz on the internet, where Lille ranks high among the most sought-after French cities compared to its population (over 10,000 queries per year for every 100,000 inhabitants). Proof that it fascinates well beyond its borders.
The Sweetness of Life, Lille Style
In Lille, you don’t have to empty your bank account to treat yourself. The cost of living is very reasonable, much more so than in Paris or Bordeaux, while you enjoy a reassuring safety with a particularly low crime rate (50.8). You can peacefully savor your drinks on the terrace, your cultural outings, and your nightlife without any stress.
So yes, it might be lacking a bit of sunshine (well, a lot), but with so many great spots and such a warm atmosphere, you quickly forget about the weather.
A Stone's Throw from All of Europe (and That's Awesome)
As a bonus, Lille offers you a perfect geographical location, just a train ride away from some of the finest cities in Europe: Brussels, Amsterdam, London, or Berlin. In just a few hours, you can change your scenery for an impromptu weekend with our Belgian neighbors or a trip to European capitals.
Lille ```clearly deserves its place on the podium, and we've known that for quite some time.
